SHANNON AIRPORT GROUP is in the running for two major Green Awards.

A record breaking three hundred plus entries were recorded this year. The Green Awards are considered one of the premier platforms for celebrating excellence in sustainability across Ireland.

Nominated as Green Public Sector Organisation of the Year and Green Large Organisation of the Year, the Shannon Airport Group says the double nomination highlights its ongoing commitment to embedding sustainability at the heart of its strategy and day-to-day operations.

It follows Shannon Airport’s recent achievement of Level 3 Airport Carbon Accreditation, as well as last year’s win at the Chambers Ireland Awards in the Biodiversity and Environment Category. Throughout 2025, the Group also received nominations for the Chamber’s Ireland Outstanding Achievement in Sustainable Business Impact Award and for Biodiversity Project of the Year at Ireland’s Climate Change Leadership Awards.

Sinead Murphy, Head of Sustainability at The Shannon Airport Group said, “We’re delighted to be shortlisted for two Green Awards this year. Over the past 12 months, we’ve advanced a range of initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, protect and enhance biodiversity, invest in renewable energy infrastructure and integrate circular economy principles, and it’s great to have this positive momentum continue into 2026.

“Embedding sustainability across all our operations – throughout the Group – is a real team effort, and I’d like to thank everyone who contributes to this work every day. We’re in great company among the other nominees in both categories and we look forward to the awards ceremony later this month.”

The Green Awards offer a national platform to celebrate organisations that are leading the way in environmental innovation, sustainable business practices and climate action. Winners of the Green Awards will be announced on Tuesday 24th February at a Gala Awards ceremony at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin.
